    Mods Finding files created or used by app [Root only]

    Haven't been able to find a discussion on this, so I'm wondering if someone can comment on how I can figure out what files are used and created by a given app. For example, if I download a new email client, how can I identify the file(s) where the email content is stored? Do I necessarily have...

    Any way to get my ICS browser to play shockwave content?

    Or any other browser on ICS? Happen to be using a Note 10.1, but don't think that's overly relevant.

    App to keep screen on if detects motion (i.e. device in hand)?

    Don't want the app to wake the device, but I'd like it to sense that I'm holding the device (i.e. detect the slight motion/shaking of one's hand) and thus not let it sleep. Obviously a problem if I use a dock, or other prop, but I'll take it. Anyone see this out there? Thanks.

    No device administrator option in settings?

    I don't see anything that allows me to view or change the device administrators in my stock Jetstream.

    Root [International Tegra 3] After root my polaris office icon disappeared

    The icon no longer exists on my HTC One X since rooted. No new rom installed. Yes, I have selected "all apps" in the app list. I see the apk in /system/apps, but it doesn't reinstall. If I open a .doc file, it does open, but no idea if it's Polaris or not. Any idea how I can create a new...

    Nearing the end of my wits with Android.

    I can't remember exactly how many Android phones I've had. Let's see...was the Moment an Android? If so (not counting the disappointing Transformer I'm typing with now), I've battled for sanity with 4 out of 5 of them. If you include the Transformer, 5 out of 6. Ironically, I have an...

    Does anyone else's Stylus really suck for precision?

    When trying to draw some simple sketch-ups of a floor plan I found the Note to be all but useless. Try this: draw two parallel lines about half an inch apart and now try to draw one down the middle--or even close to it (this is not alot to ask!). No way on mine. One moment it registers high...

    Help No SDcard format function in Ice Cream ?

    Option no longer shows up in the storage section. Can't find it anywhere else in settings.

    Don't dig on Ice Cream

    Performance is very poor all around. Everything has been sluggish: changing cursor position, opening the otherwise awesome new tray tool, etc. Battery life has suffered a little as well. Also, WHY NO BACK-BUTTON ON MOUSE!?!? I really, really liked that.

    My Life's quality has degraded noticeably since the Galaxy S 2 came into my life

    Anybody else find this phone to be an utter #%@*!en piece of &*@!ing #%^@? What a gem on paper. What a horror show in reality it has been. Totally stock and fully patched it just can't handle the role of smartphone. e.g. * can't read already read emails from the gmail client or other client...

    How do I get my dopey a** browser (take your pick) to download, not view an apk file?

    Don't see any setting to specify what to do with certain content type. How drole.

    No AAC ...again?

    On my Transformer (Honeycomb), I can't play any aac streams. On Cherry player, for example, it immediately says stopped when pressing play.

    Is it possible to access the a500 bios, or at least boot from usb?

    I'd like to install Ubuntu on this. It's a deal breaker for me if not possible--which is a shame because I really like these devices. Not that Acer owes me that functionality--it just happens to be what I'm looking for in a tablet.

    Possible to reinstall .apk's for stuff like weather service, etc. ?

    I'm getting the bgp forced close message after uninstalling (but saving) some apk's, like all the weather related and facebook related ones. Oddly, one of these things is causing the above noted FC. But when I try to reinstall them from apps like supermanager, or astro-file (as root) I get a...

    How can I trace the dreaded htc.bgp issue to a missing or faulty process?

    I've researched thoroughly, and can't figure this out. I recently rooted --no problem. But must have removed an app that I shouldn't have (though I used a few different lists as a guideline). I've also done a clear cache from the recovery mode, as I've heard that this sometimes helps. Can...

    Anyone found a Sprint Android that can get GPS fix with phone radio off completely?

    The so-called "use wireless networks" setting in my Samsung Moment's location & sec. is a placebo, if not simply a dirty lie. Uncheck it and you're bound to believe your GPS (not aGPS) is working great. But then you either turn off the phone radio (e.g. through "Advanced Settings" app) or...

    Root Any ROM's that have improved true-GPS performance?

    I'm dying here with the 5 minute (non-aGPS assisted) fix times and frequent losses of fix.

    Sprint says even True GPS requires a cdma/EvDo connection.

    This isn't true GPS then. This sounds like aGPS. When I put my Samsung Moment in Airplane mode, I cannot get a GPS fix. For starters, true GPS shouldn't have anything to do with Airplane mode, as it is a receiver only, and transmits nothing...just like a plain old FM radio (tiny, tiny...

    No work tasks (i.e. to-do list) on the Epic?

    Am I missing something? On the Moment they had apps for access to all your Outook type functions, including Tasks.

    Can't play aac or aacplus on cell network, but can on wifi.

    I see users prefer this forum, so I'll ask here. I can't stream aac or aac+ when on the cell network, only when on wifi. This is not a bandwidth issue. On Cherry player, for example, it almost immediately goes to a stopped state, before making any real attempt to connect or buffer--long...

    Need AOR or Cherry Rplayer APK

    Someone please be kind enough to put this out there. I have to say, this is a major drawback for the Android experience...at least for me. I don't have much praise for WinMo's, but their apps can be found in a great many places.

    anyone found an app that plays aac streams?

    AOR by leadapps did this well. But when I upgraded my moment to eclair 2.1, I could no longer find the app. This is one reason the android experience has been a let down for me; I'm no bagger or birther, but damn...this is one socialist OS. Anyway, what have you used to hear streams of .aac's?
